The Cleburne (TX) City Council this week hired Hunt Construction to build a new minor league ballpark called The Depot near the Chisholm Trail Parkway’s entrance into town. Private developers also plan to build Cleburne Station, a dining and retail complex adjacent to the facility. Voters approved the $25 million project in November. Read more here.

The team confirmed via Twitter that they are looking to get into the American Association. There are also hints in another article I read, as it said the league they are looking to join currently has 14 teams. While the Atlantic League would have been nice, I suspect the ballpark being built is not up to their standards.

I feel like The Atlantic League would be a great fit…. They grab GP and Laredo and they have he 4 they need. Granted GP would be a glorified road team with a home stadium but it would save the AL thousands

What league are the Railroaders going to play in? They mention a 106 game schedule, which doesn’t match the Atlantic or AA season lengths. And I had thought the new Southwestern League wasn’t starting until ’18.
